Just shows how talented kids who opt for big moves like Stones don't always aspire to fulfil their early promise Mr Ben White.

Have to admit Mrs O, was thinking along same line but thought his wages might be a bit to steep for us at this time, would defo need a relegation contract clause for that to be safe too.

Surely there must be another dozen options out there, that are being considered?

Spot on Mrs O.

However, i think the muscle issues are a deal breaker for us. MB trains them really hard. He'd be broken down too much and that weekly salary is awful rich for another KJA or Douglas.

Hoping that MB has another White or Shack in the pipeline. wouldn't mind seeing another old timer signed for center defense at less cost

Another player like White is clearly a priority if we don't get him. Hopefully Bielsa has identified one somewhere like he did White in the first place.

Stones has a lot of the necessary qualities, but the lack of reading of the game, and the regular calamities would just put us back into significant points loss territory as a result of repeated individual errors that we've just managed to come out of. White's a much better player, and his England career will begin this year, whoever he's playing for.

They need to start getting the deals across the line soon for the players to strengthen areas of the team where we are weak otherwise they won’t be fully Bielsified by the start of the season and won’t play (other than Ben White but think that ship has sailed).

Rumour Douglas may be going to Celtic which may mean the Rico Henry rumour coming to us has more legs.

if Watkins has a release clause of 18m and they want him surely they can do a deal there. Starting to feel a little like we are gazing at all the sweets in the shop and can’t decide what to pick. Hope I am wrong.

Nothing new there as we have been doing than over then last few seasons and last couple days we pick up a couple of leftovers.
In fairness to Leeds through some of the prices flashed at us I would be not buying either.

Transfer window open to October, so wheelings and dealings are likely to drag out a bit.

Maybe, but the season opens in less than four weeks, and anyone who thinks we can wait until close that date for new signings is living in cloud cuckoo land. If we don't have proven PL-capable signings by the end of August, we will struggle to get any that might come in after that time in shape and "Bielsafied" (just look at what happened to JKA when he was expected to get fit for once) for seasons start. If we wait until AFTER the season begins, e are simply giving those players who got us into the PL a millstone of likely poor results and chasing points that ought not to be necessary.

Come on Orta, PROVE ME WRONG, for once.

Orta going for a full Brazilian ?
